[h=1]Dems accuse GOP Leader McCarthy of admitting Benghazi panel is political[/h]
Published September 30, 2015
| FoxNews.com
Democrats on Wednesday accused House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of having admitted the Benghazi investigation committee was created to politically damage Hillary Clinton, after he seemed to link her dropping poll numbers to the committee's work.
McCarthy, considered the front-runner to replace retiring Speaker John Boehner, made the remarks in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity Tuesday night. Describing how he would be different as speaker, McCarthy, R-Calif., said he'd be a "conservative speaker that takes a conservative Congress that puts a strategy to fight and win."
He added: "And let me give you one example. Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she's un-trustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened had we not ..."
Democrats suggested his comments undermine claims by the committee's leader and other Republicans that the panel is only seeking the truth about the deadly 2012 attacks at a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya.
"I appreciate Rep. McCarthy finally coming clean and admitting what we have all known all along: that the Benghazi Select Committee was designed and created as a political attack tool to damage a potential Democratic presidential nominee," Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., a Benghazi committee member and top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said in a statement.

Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the senior Democrat on the Benghazi panel, called it "shameful" that Republicans have "used the tragedy... for political gain."
The comments are causing some turbulence for McCarthy as he seeks to replace Boehner in the top House post.
A spokesman for McCarthy, though, said the Benghazi panel remains focused on getting the facts about the 2012 attacks that led to the death of four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya.
The Benghazi panel's investigation and an inquiry by the FBI into Clinton's email practices "have nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the consequences of what the former secretary has done and her confusing, conflicting and demonstrably false responses," said Matt Sparks, a McCarthy spokesman.
Clinton, a former secretary of state and the Democratic frontrunner for president in 2016, has been dogged by questions about her use of a private email account and server for government business. The Benghazi committee played a key role in discovering the private emails.
McCarthy's comments come at a critical time for the committee as it prepares to question Clinton next month in a high-profile public hearing. The panel also is expected to interview Huma Abedin, a top Clinton aide, behind closed doors. Abedin, considered one of Clinton's closest confidantes, is expected to testify Oct. 16, six days before Clinton.
Republicans have questioned Abedin's jobs at a private consulting firm and the private Clinton Foundation while remaining at the State Department.
Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Clinton's campaign, called McCarthy's comments "a damning display of honesty" by the likely next speaker of the House.

"Kevin McCarthy just confessed that the committee set up to look into the deaths of four brave Americans at Benghazi is a taxpayer-funded sham. This confirms Americans' worst suspicions about what goes on in Washington," Fallon said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Anyone who quotes Cummings says it all. Hillary was incompetent as Sec of State and yes she blew it on Benghazi. Tax payer funded sham right. Remember she did not destroy emails until she was called to testify before Congress. What a coincidence huh. The dot for Benghazi is tatooed all over Hillary. The fact that four Americans died due to her refusal to beef up security should just not even be looked into.....right. People even came on this thread and said Hillary would win come hell or high water. Wrong. She has been caught lying on the emails and Benghazi is directly tied to four deaths. McCarthy hit it on the head when he pointed out her numbers are going down as people find out she can not be trusted. Cummings calls it using a tragedy for political gain. Well, that tragedy could and should have been avoided and was not. Too little too late and guys like Guesser are down to their last dart lol.

Clinton emails increasingly classified; 1 in 20 messages contained secrets

By S.A. Miller and Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Wednesday, September 30, 2015
More than 5 percent of the latest batch of emails from former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, released Wednesday, contain classified information — or twice the rate of the previous releases, raising tricky questions about whether the department is finding more secrets or being more thorough in screening the messages.
All told, there are at least 400 messages that contain information the government now deems classified, out of nearly 12,000 emails released so far.

But 214 of those messages came in the latest batch of 3,869 messages, for a classification rate of 5.5 percent.

None of the messages were marked classified at the time they were sent — usually in 2010 or 2011, for the latest batch — but the government has gone back and determined they contain information that shouldn’t be out in public.
The State Department is making monthly releases of the emails as it complies with a court order to release more than 30,000 messages by the end of January.
Mrs. Clinton kept the messages from public disclosure during her four years in office and for nearly two years afterward by using an account tied to a server she kept at her New York home, rather than using a standard State.gov account.
A federal judge and a top department transparency official have both said Mrs. Clinton violated policy, but she has insisted she what she did was not against the law.

VALERIE JARRETT THROWS HILLARY UNDER THE BUS ON EMAIL SCANDAL

Obama White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett threw Hillary Clinton under the bus Wednesday at the Washington Ideas Forum, where she told interviewer Andrea Mitchell that the White House gave Clinton guidance forbidding her from using private email.

“Yes, there were. Yeah, absolutely,” Jarrett said when asked if the White House sent guidance to Cabinet secretaries about not using private email. “Obviously we want to make sure that we preserve all government records, and so there was guidance given that government business should be done on government emails and that if you did use a private email that it should be turned over.”

“That’s what she’s doing, as you said as recently as a few minutes ago,” Jarrett added. “And I think she has been asked about this multiple times, including by you Andrea. And I think she said, Look to do it again I probably made a mistake and I wouldn’t do it, and she’s working hard to comply with making sure that everything is pursuant to the Federal Records Act.”

[h=2]O’Malley Proposal Targets Clinton Super PAC Coordination[/h]Reform proposal hits legal loophole Clinton has used to push campaign finance boundaries

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley / AP​

BY: Lachlan Markay
October 1, 2015 1:20 pm

Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley is taking aim at rival Hillary Clinton’s legally suspect coordination with a group supporting her candidacy, reviving criticism of an arrangement that experts say pushes the boundaries of campaign finance law.
O’Malley, the former governor of Maryland, is pledging to close an apparent loophole in campaign finance law that has allowed Clinton’s campaign to directly coordinate with a Super PAC called Correct the Record.
Clinton supporters say that prohibitions on Super PAC coordination do not apply to Correct the Record because it conducts online communications free of charge, as opposed to paid advertising or other direct expenditures on the candidate’s behalf.
O’Malley takes direct aim at that arrangement in a campaign finance reform proposal unveiled on Thursday. An outline of the proposal demands an end to what O’Malley calls the “internet exemption.”
The provision “allows some outside groups that engage in political activity online
to coordinate directly with campaigns,” the outline says. In a post on the website Medium detailing his proposals, O’Malley appeared to take a shot directly at Clinton’s arrangement with Correct the Record.
“Any candidate who calls for a constitutional amendment should be equally committed to aggressively [sic] enforcement of our existing campaign finance laws,” he wrote. “That includes prohibiting campaigns from coordinating with their Super PACs on fundraising and Internet advertising.”
The Clinton campaign announced in May that it would directly coordinate with Correct the Record, which promotes Clinton’s record and policy platform and attacks those of her opponents, including,increasingly, her Democratic primary rivals.
Correct the Record is a project of David Brock, the Democratic operative behind other major pro-Clinton groups such as nonprofit opposition research firm Media Matters for America and Super PAC American Bridge.
Correct the Record was initially an American Bridge project, but spun off in May in order to enable its direct coordination with the Clinton campaign.
The arrangement immediately raised red flags among legal experts and campaign finance reform advocates.
“The Internet exemption wasn’t meant for a political committee to raise unlimited money in coordination with a candidate,” Larry Noble, senior counsel at the Campaign Legal Center, told theWashington Post in May. “It was meant for bloggers. It was not intended to be this massive operation where you are outsourcing your rapid response team.”
The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, a conservative watchdog group run by former U.S. Attorney Matthew Whitaker, said in a Federal Election Commission complaint that Correct the Record’s work violates prohibitions on contributions by a Super PAC to a campaign.
“The relevant question is whether [Correct the Record’s] funding an entire research and rapid response staff working in full coordination with the Clinton Campaign is something of value to the Clinton Campaign, and as such, constitutes an illegal in-kind contribution. It is beyond doubt that it does,” FACT said.
The complaint alleged that Correct the Record is essentially running a shadow Clinton campaign, doing things that a campaign generally does, but with a war chest unencumbered by contribution limits that restrict campaign fundraising.
The group “could save space in their press releases, as there is a simpler term for a ‘fully coordinated research and rapid response team’—that term is ‘campaign staff,’” FACT wrote.
Correct the Record has denied that its work amounts to an in-kind contribution. It compares its online advocacy to press releases issued by party organs on behalf of their candidates.
“This is actually very clear cut and the FEC has repeatedly dismissed allegations regarding coordination of Internet communications,” Adrienne Watson, the group’s communications director, toldPolitico.
In addition to its legal complications, the arrangement between Correct the Record and the Clinton campaign, neither of which returned requests for comment on this story, complicates the candidate’s messaging on campaign finance reform.
She has pledged to “curb the outsized influence of big money in American politics, bring sunshine to secret spending, and institute real reform to raise the voices of regular voters.”
Asked about the disconnect between that rhetoric and her apparent exploitation of the post-Citizens United campaign finance landscape, an anonymous Clinton campaign official told New York Magazine that she will use all of the tools at her disposal even if she would rather political spending be more restricted.
“There is too much at stake for our future for Democrats to unilaterally disarm,” the campaign official said.
However, Clinton has not just used tools available to other campaigns; she has arguably pressed the boundaries of campaign finance law more than any other 2016 candidate.
“If Correct the Record gets away with what it is trying to do, what’s left that a campaign can’t outsource?” asked CLC senior counsel Paul S. Ryan in a May interview with Politico.
O’Malley prodded Clinton without mentioning her by name in his post. “There’s a reason my campaign is not raking in dollars from fossil fuel companies or hedge funds,” he wrote.

I like it!

Ronnie was also popular with unions and manual laborers when he won his two terms. Just a likable, down to earth guy who told it like it is. Maybe they see the same thing in Trump, and they sure as hell don't see the same thing in the phony old hag.

I've been very cautious about believing reports I see on Trump's positions...because you now have RINO reporters using dimocrap lie and smear tactics on Trump. First, he was supposedly anti-gun and a big gun control advocate. That didn't turn out to be true. Then he was going to "raise taxes" on everyone, which also didn't turn out to be true. Now, he's supposedly in favor of single payer health care? I'd like to see the exact quote where he advocated that, because I can't find one. Would be very surprised if that's true.

Of course it's true. All Trumps previous Liberal positions are true, because, at heart, Donnie is pretty Liberal.
[h=1]Conservative columnist: Trump once backed single-payer health care[/h]By Jon Greenberg on Friday, July 24th, 2015 at 5:06 p.m.

Bill and Hillary Clinton chat with Donald Trump during the reception for his wedding to Melania Knauss in Palm Beach, Fla., on Jan. 22, 2005. (Getty Images)The rise of Donald Trump is striking not merely because it has come so quickly, but because there’s much in his resumé that clashes with Republican orthodoxy.
Conservative columnist Erick Erickson ran down the list in a recent post on RedState.com.
Trump has given money to Democrats, including Hillary Clinton. He has supported abortion rights. And "he has supported a Canadian-style universal health care system," Erickson wrote.
We decided to look into Trump’s track record on health care.
The billionaire’s 2000 book The America We Deserve makes a strong pitch for universal health care.
"I’m a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one," Trump wrote. "We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by health care expenses. We must not allow citizens with medical problems to go untreated because of financial problems or red tape."
When he turned to how the country might achieve universal coverage, Trump focused like a laser beam on a Canadian-style, single-payer plan. He said it would eliminate many billions of dollars of overhead.
"The Canadian plan also helps Canadians live longer and healthier than America," he wrote. "We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan, as many individual states are doing."
Ever the pragmatist, Trump noted change would not happen overnight.
"While we work out details of a new single-payer plan, there are a number of ways to make the health care system now in place work more efficiently," Trump wrote.
So, it’s fair to say that in 2000, Trump supported a Canadian-style health care plan.
By 2011, his views had changed. As he contemplated a presidential bid, he told the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., that "I will fight to end Obamacare and replace it with something that makes sense for people in business and not bankrupt the country."
In an interview with the New York Times, Trump backed away from a single-payer plan, as well as another of his proposals from a decade earlier, a surtax on the wealthiest Americans.
''We had a much different country when I proposed those two things,'' he said, according to the New York Times reporter.
We searched the Nexis database of news reports for any other views Trump might have voiced on universal health care between 2000 and 2011 and found none.
In a recent radio interview, Trump did not so much reject his previous support for a Canadian-style plan as describe, in a roundabout fashion, a totally different approach. He gave few details but said, "we're going to have great (private) plans," and that government should help people "at the lower levels."
"You can’t have a guy that has no money, that’s sick, and he can’t go see a doctor, he can’t go see a hospital," Trump said. "I mean, because I’m actually a conservative with a heart."
Our ruling
Erickson said that Trump has supported a Canadian-style universal health care system. Trump’s own book from 2000 affirms that. By about 10years later, he had changed his position.
Erickson got it right. We rate this claim True.

"Teamsters officials met behind closed doors today. The union refused to endorse Hillary Clinton for president.

The officials told FOX News they want to meet with Donald Trump.

James Rosen reported:

FOX News has learned exclusively the 26 member board decided unanimously to withhold a presidential endorsement… Union executives told me they want to sit down with Republican candidates, most notably, front-runner Donald Trump who has collaborated with unionized work forces across his real estate career.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unions are sick and tired of these job-killing eco-fascists who hijacked the Party of JFK.

"electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket..." -- "I'll bankrupt the coal industry..." -- Obama :neenee:

Now the old criminal hag pandering to the Daily Kos nutjobs comes out against Keystone -- another union buster.

The fact is, this new Soros-Alinsky-Obama Democrat party is way too radical for mainstream America.

Fox News Legal Analyst Predicts FBI Will Recommend Hillary Clinton be Indicted for National Security Crimes

According to the Associated Press:

“The Petraeus emails, first discovered by the Defense Department and then passed to the State Department’s inspector general challenge…Clinton’s claim that she has handed over the entirety of her work emails from the account.”


​

Appearing on Fox News’ “The Kelly File,” Judge Andrew Napolitano predicted Clinton’s defense, saying:

“She’s going to argue–because she stated…that she’s not a technical person, and she didn’t pay attention to emails, and she doesn’t understand exactly how the entire email system works–I’m afraid that’s not an argument that the judge wants to hear, and will essentially fall on deaf ears.”


​

Speaking to potential legal action, Napolitano added:

“I think that the FBI will recommend to the Justice Department that she be indicted.”


​

IJ spoke to Tom Fitton, President of the conservative watchdog organization Judicial Watch, who said that while he couldn’t speak to the charges of perjury:

“There’s no doubt [Clinton’s] statement was not accurate.”


​

At some point, it will be up to the judge to decide if Clinton perjured herself, or if her alleged lack of knowledge precludes her from such a charge.

I know you're a mindless idiot drone, who can't do anything else but lie and say Dimocraps all day long, because the cult down here thinks it's funny, while thinking it's a big deal that someone likes Pro Wrestling, but you asked for something, I showed it to you, and then you act like the usual asshole you are.

It’s fun to hear Clinton herself complaining about the slow “drip, drip, drip” of damaging revelations during the presidential primary, as she did on NBC’s “Meet the Press” last Sunday. She has only herself to blame. Her mania for avoiding public and congressional oversight led her to create this secretive private email system and hide her correspondence from scrutiny for years. None of this would be happening right now if she, and her top aides, had used the State Department emailed system they were supposed to be using.
The drip, drip, drip is far from over, as only about a third of the correspondence Clinton didn’t delete has been revealed by the State Department… and FBI computer experts are reportedly working on recovering the thousands of emails she did delete.

More likely she winds up behind the gates of the White House. Because voting in a presidential election does not require an IQ test. And Hillary is not taking away anyone's Obama phone.
